This is a big social issue all across the country. Winnipeg is just opening one. This is the new "spend big" scenario? I was hoping this time around we'd put a bigger social foot forward but it all seems to be the old money knobs being turned the same way they always have. The bullshit loss alone from Ford's private plane fiasco could have been used for this. What a waste. The people suffer over commerce and economy yet again.

Within a month people in Ottawa will be seeing a lot more drug use on the O-train. With the uploading I guess it's going to be the province's problem to fix anyway 🤷
